Profile:
The son of former Nottinghamshire keeper Billy Rhodes, Steve looks the part.
In the wicket-keepers' tradition, he is stocky yet athletic, and a pugnacious batsman. He joined Yorkshire in 1981 and became the youngest keeper ever to
play for the county. But as an understudy to the then Yorkshire captain and
keeper David Bairstow, his opportunities at the White Rose county were
always likely to be limited and he was released to join Worcestershire in
1985. He gained his county cap a year later and has served the club with
great consistency, hitting ten first-class centuries, 64 fifties and
claiming more than 1,000 dismissals.One of Wisden's Five Cricketers of the Year in 1994, Rhodes made his Test
debut in the same year against New Zealand at Trent Bridge, hitting 49 and
taking six catches. He might have played for England much earlier, having been selected for the tour to India in 1988-89
that was cancelled for political reasons. He caught three of Devon Malcolm's
nine victims in the famous Oval Test match of 1994 against South Africa, and
went on to tour Australia in 1994-95. But his performances, particularly
with the bat, were not considered good enough for him to keep his place.
